I even installed plenty of the old vacuum operated electromechanical aftermarket cruise controls back in the 70's. They worked better than the FJC cruise control.
The FJC has a hugely annoying habit when topping a hill to overshoot by 4 or 5 mph. This also makes me look like an as***le when climbing a hill and the car next to me is slowly creeping by, when the cruise control punches the throttle and I pull away, only to slow back down when the hill ends.
Does the late model 5th gen 4R also do this?
TIA!

My 4Runner does the same thing and I have a 2019 Limited. I tried it and had to turn it off on a trip I recently did and just drive with my foot. Even the slightly incline the 4Runner would downshift and accelerate past the set speed and then wait till we are at the top to go back to overdrive. My foot doesn't cause this and it keeps it at the speeds fine. Not impressed with it's cruise control at all because of that.
